Music service Spotify has finally made its splash in the US, but many of the people who want to check out the service have yet to get access. Although there are ways to skip over the invite process (by signing up for Spotify Unlimited or Premium for $5 or $10 per month, respectively), it's no surprise that new users would rather give the free tier a try before opening up their wallets.
